I changed out the fuel filter. There was a lot of black sludge in the bottom of the glass bowl. I figured this would fix it. I also pulled the fitting out of the injector pump. It has a screen. It looked clean but I cleaned it and blew it out with air.
Still not fixed. It starts. Runs a few...
Thanks guys.
I'm gonna just do the smart thing first and change the fuel filter. When I think about it, because it runs and then slow and stops, it could be the pump starving because of filter restriction. When I shut it down the filter relieves a bit and it has fuel to run again.
I cross...
There was at least a pint of water in the bottom of the tank when I drained it. Apparently the fuel valve has a standpipe that keeps it from drawing water at the bottom. Bad part is there is no drain for the lower portion so water stays there.
I just pulled the fuel tank cause it was leaking...
Not true. He was definitely an authorized dealer. I think he got into a pissin match with FASS right about the time I bought it and quit with them. I think he got tired of doing the warranty work and then getting paid only for the pump. Took too long to get paid. I'm not calling you a liar so...
I'm all over the forums posting about something we should be aware of? I don't see you warning your customers about the lack of filtration FASS provided all these years. I just see you advertising your shop. Why else would you be doing an engine build on a Duramax site but not here or the other...
Be sure to watch flow rates if you run high power. The more stuff you add the more restriction you add. Just because one filter is rated at 120 gph doesn't mean you will have 120 when you tie it into a FASS type system that adds two more filters. On top of that you have the fittings, elbows...
I have a lot of aftermarket stuff on my current truck and my previous ones. I install a lot of it myself. You won't find a history of me crying about every problem I've had with those things. You can be sure I've had the problems. Some major. Most of it I had taken care of off line working with...
For what it's worth, I'll personally write it off as lessons learned... once again.
cumminalong, I don't think you are capable of agreeing with anything. I've seen it in your recent truck build topic and throughout this FASS debate.
It doesn't take an aerospace engineer to understand basic...
I agree with you 100%
What you aren't mentioning is FASS doesn't make it all so clear especially early on, did they? I'm hammering the maker because they were either too dumb but acted like they knew it all or they did it on purpose for financial reasons.
Filtration hasn't been rocket science...
I'm not saying it's not a water separator.... Fleetguard is saying it. They make the filter.
No one, not even Fleetguard has water removal specs on this filter.
Because is a pre-filter only.
Google is loaded up with info populated from misinformation.
Do your homework... don't listen to me...
Who lists it as a water separator? The ones selling it? Who told them it's a water separator?
It is not a water separator by any means. Don't kid yourself. A fine mesh screen is all it contains. It was not designed to be a water separator by the people who designed it (Fleetguard).
A water...
Right from Cummins filtration...

Hello,
I am researching your FS 1023 FFWS fuel filter water separator filter but I cannot find...
I recently discovered that the water separator that FASS provides with their dual filter systems is not a water separator. It's only a 100 micron screen filter. FASS will not provide performance specs on it's ability to trap water because THERE ARE NONE.
Yet they claim the FS1023 is a water...
Little trick to verify your initial contact... Slide the valve in, hold the stem underneath, raise the valve and smack it back down into the seat a few. You will see the contact ring impression on the valve. It should be a little lower than the break where the margin starts on the valve. You...
Are you finalizing them with a finer high quality compound like Clover 600 grit?
What are you using for interference angle? Any? Usually you see 1 deg difference between the valve and the seat.
Is there a dimension spec for the tops of the valve faces with respect to the head surface? This could...
